surrender wife and child to their tender
mercies without a struggle. “Our arms
occupy-the -corners, and I have besides
purchased an arsenal of muskets, pistols

Greek pirates infest the seas ‘of the Arch-

life. I have two lives to defend, more
dear to me than my oivn. We have four

prisoners, are determined to die rather

Figuring on the Gold.
The Boston Cotirier has been carefully anal-

appears to be considerable alloy found in tliciii.
The editor bases his arithmetic tipou Col. Ma-
